During the session, Brewer told The News that she couldn’t understand why Adams’ staff couldn’t provide the Council a total monetary amount for the requested payments. Brewer previously handled federal reimbursement applications on behalf of the city when working in Mayor David Dinkins’ administration.
“How is the public supposed to know that you have such a need if you can’t show the receipts?” Brewer declared. “They should be submitting as much as they can. I hope they’re doing that, but I don’t know because they haven’t said.” Emily considered it an honor.

“Ms. Ralph makes me just go, wow!” said Emily. “Her work is amazing. She is nice and kind, and she inspires me to be a good person.”
As a child who enjoyed musical theater, Emily is a great Abbott Elementary fan and respects Ralph’s numerous skills. Ralph’s efforts inspired Emily to specifically chose her as her subject since she had Type 1 diabetes.
Emily shared that she is motivated by Ms. Ralph’s AIDS advocacy to assist JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) by giving her time and money to the cause.
In addition to conducting extensive research on Ralph’s life, Emily had to present her project to community and school audiences while acting as Ralph, even down to donning a gown and carrying a pocketbook that matched her look for the Emmys. Even an Emmy statue was made by her.
Before deciding to concentrate her study on the singer-actress, Ralph, Emily had never met him, although they do share a familial link. Justin C. Fleming, a state representative, is Ralph’s father; Vincent J. Hughes, a state senator, is Ralph’s spouse. Lisa Fleming, Emily’s mother, serves as the committee’s deputy director for state appropriations. The committee’s Democratic chairman is Hughes.
According to Lisa Fleming, Emily texted and contacted Ralph to confirm her findings before finishing her investigation, and they briefly spoke at the conclusion. The mother of the student reported that Ralph praised Emily for picking her.
The Blacks in Wax project was launched years ago in commemoration of the Baltimore museum, according to Emily’s teacher Tamaura Woodson at Thomas W. Holtzman Jr. Elementary School. Interviewing someone in their intended sector of employment is suggested for students. Woodson, who also likes Abbott Elementary, says, “Yes, hilarious.”
Although Abbott’s Mr. Eddie is also from Baltimore and has a retired military father, Holtzman’s principal Keith Edmonds recognizes a little of himself in him.
He is also pleased with Emily since she is a leader and a voracious learner who helps younger classmates. He said that she received a flawless score on her presentation.
Twitter users who have liked the post approximately 57,000 times and counting concur.
One individual tweeted, “That’s too sweet.”
Another person said, “What a cutie, and she’s inspired by a beauty.”
“This is so awesome!” read another tweet. “Congrats to you both!”
